Glascott’s Saloon
2158 N Halsted (map) (773) 281-1205
Glascott’s Saloon—also known as
Glascott’s Groggery—has been quenching thirsts since 1937, and is still
owned and operated by a never-ending supply of Glascott’s (Four
generations). The Glascott’s have been in the groggery business since
the late 1800s, including one Glascott that formerly owned a bar that
is now Irish Eyes. Joining nearby Kelly’s Pub and Burwood Tap,
Glascott’s is one of the oldest bars in the area, over which time it
has acquired a reputation of being the place where hundreds (if not
thousands) of couples have “hooked-up” or had their first date, leading
to marriage and the inevitable move to the suburbs. Glascott’s also
throws a huge St. Patrick’s Day party, pulls a mean pint of Guinness
and hosts some pretty wild parties in the back room. Voted one of
Chicago’s BEST St. Patrick’s Day parties, there’s no shortage of Irish
cheer at Glascott’s on St. Patrick’s Day, where bagpipers and a
leprechaun sighting complete the scene. Glascott’s is also listed on
beertravelers.com and realbeer.com as one of the best Irish pubs to
drink in the Midwest!
